Is there a way (patch or app) to stop or disable home button from waking up screen? When it is in my pants pocket the button gets pressed and screen stays on. Just the power button for screen wakeup is enough for me.
Rooted running JB ROM.
Thanks!
In Root Explorer
/System/Usr/Keylayout
scroll down to: sec_keys.kl
find line: key 172 HOME WAKE
after home remove "wake"
Thanks!

i dont like having to push the power button every time the phone is out...was wondering if there is any way to touch the cap buttons on the bottom to wake the screen up like the home button?

so it seems i can wake the phone with either the home button or the power button. thats all good. the problem is when im using poweramp with its lockscreen enabled. if i wake the phone with the power button, the poweramp lockscreen immediately appears. if i wake the phone with the home button, i get the normal lockscreen and then after a couple seconds, the poweramp lockscreen appears. i cant find any settings anywhere that would possibly treat home button wake differently than power button wake. anyone else notice this or know of a setting somewhere im maybe missing?
This is frustrating. If I wake my phone by pressing the Home button i get taken to my designated home screen and not to the open app. The same does not happed if i wake the phone with the power button. This really annoys me in situations where i have the phone on a desktop as i have to use two hands to wake the phone!
Is there a way to change the action of the home button in this situation?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Enable a lockscreen! That was easy
I don't use any lock screen and I always use the home button to wake my phone up.
Since official JB, the home button not only wakes the phone up but it closes the app I'm in. Example : I'm browsing something on chrome, the screen turns off bc of timeout, I wake the phone using the home button and I see chrome back but immediatly it closes down like if I had pressed the home button again (but I didn't). The same behavior does not happen when a lock screen is enabled.
I tried searching for an answer and tried the solution of editing the .kl files in system/usr/keylayout by adding WAKE_DROPPED or replacing WAKE with WAKE_DROPPED for every occurence of the home key (key 172) without luck. I tried fixing the permissions in CWM and I made sure the permissions are rw-r-r.
Running stock rooted with CWM.
Any other ideas? Thx!
I'm also curious about this. My temporary fix was to unfreeze S Voice in Titanium and then enable the double press of the home button to start S Voice.
I'd rather keep S Voice frozen and still keep the same behaviour of the home button in ICS.

Yes that does work indeed. However, it brings back the lag when pressing the home button. I'm also using home2 shortcut for some shortcuts and it completely breaks them!
The same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!
hi, is there any way to wake-up screen without home key, power key and volume key, i know about few apps which wakes up using sensor, but it's not for me, it drains battery too much, i want something like waking up phone with capacitive touch keys, or swiping them, is it possible to change key 172 which is home button to a menu key for waking up? in system/usr/keylayout/ ? Please help, any other options would be nice too, i have enabled softkeys, but sadly they don't wake-up screen.
searching for same..any solution..??
